The use case is basically so that all my family members we can check that “John has an old laptop collecting dust” or “Mary has this specific tool that I’d love to use for my current project”.

It would be awesome if you could also have a private inventory, aside from the “shared knowledge”.

So, what do you guys use for this? Maybe it does not have to be self hosted, but I have a sense the best solutions for this use case are.

A Google sheet with a Google form to collect data.

Self.Hosted.

Pretty sure Google docs are the opposite of that.

I responded with the quickest, simplest, cheapest solution currently available. It provides all requested functionality and didn’t include a requirement that OP indicated was optional.

Ah, I stand corrected.
